This screenshot was a frequent perplexing intruder on my adolescent interaction with supposedly erotic software. But now, I have Google!

The enigmatic pair of numbers (72307,3311) turns up in the appropriate time frame in reference to a programmer named Garry J. Vass, perhaps this game's anonymous author? It is apparently an ID number assigned to members of the Borland SIG (Special Interest Group), seemingly an early form of e-mail address to users of CompuServe. The character pointed at by those coordinates also boasts of belonging to a "PASCAL/PROLOG SIG at the POLICE STATION BBS (201-963-3115)" -- the same 201 area code shouted out to at the start of this game!

While this wouldn't constitute evidence "beyond a reasonable doubt", I do feel a bit closer to pinning down responsibility for this wretched piece of software on someone specific.
